By
the time the Roman Empire died in 476 AD, few noticed, few cared and
few stood up to do anything about it. If you look at America today,
exactly the same events that collapsed the Romans accelerate within
our borders in the early part of the 21st century.

Rome
was a Republic that morphed into an empire. It began in Italy and
quickly conquered most of the known world. Its power spread from the
Middle East, Africa and most of Europe. Its armies numbered 300,000
soldiers that attacked lesser nations at will. But soon, the most
powerful civilization on earth ruptured, bled and died.

Does
this sound like the nation you live in? The United States was once
a Republic, but today, our military bases penetrate as an empire in
dozens upon dozens of countries around the world. Our president and
Congress provoke wars on sovereign nations at will: Korea, Vietnam,
Bosnia, Kuwait, Iraq and potentially Iran. The United States morphs
into world conquests without end. America hemorrhages with the same
calamities that destroyed Rome.

In
his brilliant book, �The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of
Rome and Barbarians,� Peter Heather examines the exact cause of Rome�s
death.

He
writes, �The Romans were deeply embroiled with war in the East the
Persian empire. Emperor Valens was forced to admit Gothic hordes.
All went well until food supplies ran short and tempers flared. From
the Gothic War until the fall of Rome, continuous pressure from the
Huns forced more barbarians into the empire. Eventually, the immigrants
grew more powerful than existing Roman authority.�

Two
major conditions caused the loss of Rome: they allowed uncontrolled
hostile immigration to dissolve the fabric of their civilization.
Immigrants grew more powerful while exercising their own character
of their cultures. They did not adopt Roman ways. Second, vast blocks
of once Roman lands became foreign held and even the Roman population,
once outnumbered, was no match for hostile immigrants.

For
you history buffs, our 21st century situation at the Rio Grande River
mirrors the Roman Empire at the Danube River in 350 AD. The Romans
failed their country by not stopping the immigrants and as can be
seen nightly, tens of thousands of illegal aliens swim or wade across
America�s Rio Grande on the border of Mexico

Fast
forward to 2006. Today, well over 35.2 million foreign born legal
l immigrants live in our country and this number exceeds 2 � times
the 13.5 million that came to America in 1910. Since 1964, immigrants
and their children have driven population growth in the US population
from 194 million to 299 million. That�s an addition of 106 million
people in 40 years.

From
January 2000 to March 2005, a whopping 7.9 million legal and illegal
immigrants settled into the United States. Over half of those immigrants
arrived as illegals in that five year period.

According
to Dr. Steven Camarata, �Immigrants at Mid-Decade: December 2005,�
www.cis.org, 31 percent of adult immigrants lack high school diplomas.
Immigrant heads of households utilize a whopping 29 percent of welfare
programs. The average illegal alien household head costs US taxpayers
$2,700.00 in welfare benefits annually over and above any taxes he/she
pays or does not pay. The poverty rate of immigrants and their children
stands at 18.4 percent which is 57 percent higher than American citizens.
Immigrants and their children account for one in four persons living
in poverty. One-third of immigrants lack health insurance, which accounts
for millions visiting ER wards at taxpayer expense as mandated by
the Federal Government.

As
the educational drop out/flunk out rate of 65 percent of illegal alien
students in Denver Public Schools, May 2005 illustrates our national
crisis--the low educational attainment of immigrants results in low
wages that causes millions of them to tap into welfare programs, crime,
drugs, anchor babies and resultant public assistance. They bring us
such rituals as female genital mutilation of baby girls, horse tripping
from Mexican charros, cock fighting, dog fighting and Santeria from
African immigrants, which is beheading of animals for sacrifice.

From
the disease free nation we once were, we can expect even more consequences.
Immigrants brought us over 16,000 cases of tuberculosis in the past
five years, which spreads across our country. They arrived with 7,000
cases of leprosy in the past three years. They carry thousands of
cases of hepatitis �A� and that is only the tip of the diseases imported
into this country by illegal aliens.

Take
a peek under the human riptide tearing at the fabric of America. You�ve
read the costs and consequences in my previous columns. If it appears
I�m ear marking legal and illegal immigrants negatively, I AM in the
regard that they no longer benefit our country. Why accept immigrants
unless they help us instead of overrun and financially destroy our
own citizens? Ignoring the impact to this society�s likely collapse
does not sit well with me. Each of you reading this column experiences
these consequences in your town or state every day.

As
stated, the two factors that destroyed Rome now manifest in accelerating
numbers in America. Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta,
New York City, San Francisco, Raleigh and all large cities suffer
millions of immigrants. Uncounted millions of them cannot and do not
speak English. Millions work under the table without paying taxes.
Millions use our hospitals without paying. They immigrate but do not
assimilate. They colonize in ethnic enclaves separated from Americans.
They fracture our country.

A
glance back at 10,000 fire bombed cars and riots of Paris, France
in October and race fights in Sydney, Australia last month should
have awakened Americans. However, much like the Roman citizens that
laughed and cheered at the weekly games of slaughter in the Coliseum�modern
day Americans swill beer while madly pushing their remotes and fill
our football stadiums for the weekly mayhem on the gridiron. �It�s
happening in Paris, but that�s not America,� one guy told me.

Listen
buddy, football is great but if you don�t have a viable society, what
do you have? Ask Nero and all who partied while he fiddled and Rome
burned.

All
the while, 7,000 to 10,000 illegal aliens according to Time Magazine,
pour across our borders every night of the year equaling 3,000,000
annually. They number over 15 to 20 million and there is no end to
the line that grows by 85 million desperately poor added to the world
yearly. Add another one million slipping into our nation legally each
year and that equals a whopping 4,000,000 bodies. Remember: when the
rate of immigration exceeds the rate of assimilation, it is a recipe
for the destruction for ANY civilization.

If
you do the math, at the current rate of legal immigration, in 44 years
by 2050, we�ll see another 44 million legal immigrants added to our
country at the minimum. We�ll add another 125 million illegal alien
immigrants at three million sliding across our borders annually. Added
to that, our own population momentum of one million added to whatever
numbers of millions of immigrant births yields a horrific, and I do
mean--a nasty future.

To
bring it into sobering if not terrifying focus: Texas adds 12 million
by 2025; California adds 20 million by 2035; Arizona adds four million
by 2050; Colorado adds four to six million by 2050. What is the one
thing those states lack? WATER! Resource depletion eventually forces
any citizen to conscious focus! Why wait until the crisis manifests
itself? The USA adds another 300 million just past mid century. Did
our immigrating all these people help the world? Not a chance! The
world expands from 6.4 billion to a predicted low of 7.9 billion or
a high of 9.8 billion by 2050.

Who
then is in charge of the decline and fall of America? George Bush
today and for another three years. He is worse than Emperor Valens.
Congress is Bush�s main accomplice. Together, they make Nero look
brilliant. For the past 40 years, Teddy Kennedy�s 1965 Immigration
Reform Act �Katrina-ized� our demise by opening the flood gates. Bush
aims to deluge Mexico into America by destroying our border sovereignty.
Much like the Roman games that killed over one million men at the
Coliseum for sport, Bush distracts us with war games in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He rules by fear instead of reason, i.e., mass distraction. He�s broken
our financial system with outrageous debt. He�s exported our jobs
to China and India. He�s broken most of the U.S. Constitution into
pieces worse than Humpty Dumpty.

Much
like Rome, the great Middle Class of America suffers the invasion
first hand, but much like Emperor Valens or Nero, along with the Roman
senate, they ignored it until too late. All suffered the loss of their
civilization at the end as the hostile immigrant invaders burned Rome.

If
you can�t see this thing coming, and most Americans don�t, you will
at some point. If you don�t step up and speak out and take action,
your children will pay for your lack of courage. If you think the
legal immigrants in Paris, France were nasty, just wait until our
illegal immigrants spring into action at some point in the future.
It�s only going to take a spark to set them off. The ensuing conflagration
will place our civilization in the history books right along side
Rome�s.
